SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 428,417, dated May 20,1890.

Application filed March 10, 1890. Serial No. 343,228. (No model.) 7

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EPPA I-I. RYON, a citizen of the United States,residing at Canton, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Tools for EnamelingNVatch-Dials; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,clear, and exact description of the same, referencebeing had to theannexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to theletters of reference marked thereon, in which- Figure 1 is a perspectiveview of the leveling-disk. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a watch-dialplate. of the leveling-disk, showing the handle or knob attachedthereto. Fig. 4 is a sectional view of a watch-dial plate.

The present invention has relation to tools for enameling Watch-dialplates; and it consists in the novel arrangement hereinafter describedand claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents theleveling-disk, which issubstantially of the form shown in the drawings, and, as shown, isprovided with the handle or knob a and the pin 1). The pin Z) is soadjusted that it will enter the aperture 0 in the watch-dial plate Bwhen the leveling-disk A is placed on the plate 13. The leveling-disk Ais provided with the annular flange d, which is for the purpose ofstriking or resting upon the edge of the flange cl upon the dial-plate Bwhen the disk A and the plate B are placed together.

In use a sufficient amount of enamel-powder is placed upon thedial-plate B, at which time the leveling-disk A is placed over the plateB, the edges of the flanges d and 01 coming together and the pin Z)entered in the aperture 0, at which time the leveling-disk A is rotatedback and forth until the enameling-powder is properly distributed andleveled upon the dial-plate B, the surplus enameling-powder being siftedout between the flanges d and d. It will be understood that, if desired,the dial-plate B maybe rotated and the same obj ect accomplished, orleveling- 3 is a sectional view disk A and the dial-plate 13 bothrotated at the same time in opposite directions.

For the purpose of preventing any accidental displacement of theleveling-disk A, and at the same time providing guides, the arms or lugse are provided, which are attached in any convenient and well-knownmanner to the periphery of the leveling-disk A. These arms or lugs e areinclined outward for the purpose of passing over the flange d. It willbe understood that the size of the leveling-disk A is to correspond withthe size of the dial-plates, and that different-sized leveling-disks areused upon different-sized dialv plates. It will alsobe understood thatthe leveling-plate A is to correspond in form in crosssection to theform of the dial-plate in cross.- section.

' For the purpose of preventing the levelingdisk from springing, theshoulder f is provided, which abuts against the flange g. The shoulder fmay be formed integral with the leveling-plate A; or, if desired, thisshoulder f may be formed integral with the pin 1).

Having fully described my invention,what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a tool for enamelingWatch-dial plates, the disk A, provided withthe pin 1) and the annular flange cl, substantially as and for thepurpose specified.

2. In a tool for enameling watch-dial plates, the leveling-disk A,provided with' the handle or knob to, the pin b, and the annular flange61, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

3. In a tool for enameling watch-dial plates, the leveling-disk A,provided with the annular flange d, the arms or lugs e, and the shoulderf, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my namein the presence of two witnesses.

EPPA H. RYON.
